A simple, new approach to localizing electrospun nanofiber scaffolds simply by direct writing of SU-8 photoresist followed by UV polymerization is presented. This method allows 3D cell culture arrays to be produced and it can be integrated with microfluidic devices easily to enable low-cost high-throughput cellular assays within an addressable 3D environment, which is attractive for use in drug screening, stem cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
